TROOPER when the Yankees said that
Southern people were lazy. But |
have had to acknowledge the fact.
lis true it is not real pleasant to
think so, but facts are stubborn
things to get around. And for twenty
wears stubborn facts have been accu-
mulating that prove beyond a doubt
that we. as Z people, are lazy and
thoughtless. Now, here are some Of
the facts. Since 1865 the people Of
the cotton States have sent to the
North for meat, bread, vegetables,
horses and mules-$30O,000,0 900 for
inst such things that had they been
as energetic as people should be,
they would have raised at home.
The State Of Georgia alone has sent
100000 900 to pay for meat which
could easily have been raised at
home. Now, if every farmer in the
cotton States had raised all he need
ed, and then enough to sell to the
people 10 the cities. all this money
would have been kept at home, and
what cotton we made would have
brought double the money. Had
this been done. my brothers, do you
think that there would have been a
cry all over the land about the mer-
chant charging. too much? have
said that every man who farms can
raise all his family consumes. For
the renter, who moves from place to
place, this may be difficult, but for
the man who owns his land there is
no earthly excuse for not having
plenty of sweet and Irish potatoes,
peas, beans, carrots, parsnips, satisfy,
turnips and dried fruits; and during
summer he can and should have as
many vegetables as his family can
consume, besides enough to feed one
pig for each member in his family
and then raise plenty of corn tC

Poultry - King.

Alta recent meeting of the Bed
ford, N. Y, Farmers Club, Rev.
j. Y. Hoyt, of Bedford, said: "On
the farm to-day poultry is king. We
used to hear that cotton was king
or that corn was king, but take the
official report Of 1889 for instances.
The wheat product of that year was
worth S4sS, 900 600; the cotton pro-
duct, %S4l0,000; the dairy product
S254,000 600; But the poultry pro.
duct, was 100000 900; almost half
again as large as the cotton product,
and larger than both the iron and
steel product both together. Still
it is not half rs large as it ought to
be. In 1883 we imported SIS 000,.
900 dozen Of eggs worth $2,677,000.
Think Of Germany sending us 2,0O0,-
900 dozen, and China. over 1000
900 eggs.
